Our Purpose

Unleashing Brand Potential

At Pinnacle Foods we are at the top of our game and the key to our success is clear. Everything we do is driven by our purpose: unleashing brand potential, dynamically evolving and improving our already beloved products to bring more convenience, taste, nutrition, and joy to today's consumers.

The results? Our well-recognized products are found in 85% of American households and are leaders in their respective categories, holding the #1 or #2 market share position in 10 of the 14 categories in which we compete — and we're just getting started. We are committed to adding value through strategic growth that synergizes our portfolio of "Leadership" and "Foundation" brands and plays to our strengths in R&D, consumer insights, and senior management experience.

Trailblazers at the Table

Our "Leadership Brands" have great potential for growth and innovation. These brands constantly inspire our imagination
and ingenuity, and we take immense pride in debuting category breakthroughs to customers and consumers. From
inventing more convenient cooking processes like Birds Eye® Steamfresh™ technology to new customized taste
options such as Duncan Hines® frosting creations™ proprietary custom frosting flavor system, we strive to be
first to the table with new and better ways to serve the foods families love.

Outside the kitchen, we delight our consumers with high-impact marketing that celebrates our Leadership Brands'
robust vitality. We are laser-focused on cultural and communication trends, and speak to consumers with brand
messaging that is fresh, relevant, and engaging. In 2012, Birds Eye® partnered with Nickelodeon's hit live-action
series iCarly on a news-making multimedia campaign, "iCarly iCook with Birds Eye." The interactive contest
called directly on kids to create and submit their own playful, silly, and delicious veggie recipes,
fundamentally changing the conversation about vegetables.

Renovating Favorites

While fueling our leadership brands, we continuously improve upon and renovate our stalwart "Foundation Brands,"
including Hungry-Man®, Aunt Jemima® Frozen Breakfast, Celeste®, Open Pit®, Duncan Hines® Comstock® and
Wilderness®, Lender's® and many others. To us, this means adding even more value to the foods that families
already know and trust. We're proud to offer Lender's® Healthy Grain bagels which are high in dietary fiber
and a great source of protein, and Aunt Jemima® frozen pancakes and waffles made with real ingredients like
eggs, milk and flour and no preservatives, high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. It goes without
saying that we're always raising the bar in taste. Our new Open Pit® Barbeque Sauce flavors Brown Sugar & Bourbon,
Apple Whiskey, and Sweet Spiced Rum hit shelves in 2012.

Operational Excellence

Behind the scenes is Pinnacle Foods' lean and nimble organizational structure built on visionary leadership and
operational excellence. Under the direction of our experienced, hands-on management team and board of directors,
we strive to improve the efficiency of our supply chain and expand our gross margin, while continuing to grow our
existing brand portfolio and skillfully integrate value-enhancing acquisitions.

At Pinnacle Foods we are creating our future through our innovative R&D, inspired marketing, passionate employees,
and close ties to our customers and consumers. We've got a lot cooking, and we can't wait to show you what's next.

Our History

Pinnacle's portfolio of iconic brands has touched the lives of consumers for more than 150 years. The admirable stories of
the innovators behind each brand inspire us to continually renovate and innovate our products to keep them in sync with the
needs of today's consumers. Here's how our great brands got their start.

The 1800s

After walking across the country in 1852 during the California Gold Rush, Philip Danforth Armour saved enough money to form Armour and Company in 1867. As the first company to produce canned meat, Armour became Chicago's most important business and helped make the city and its stockyards the center of the American meatpacking industry. Today, our Armour Star® brand offers a variety of delicious products that are the perfect choice to enjoy on the run.

Two decades later, Minnesota grocer Patrick J. Towle introduced Log Cabin® syrup in 1887. The syrup was named for President Lincoln's boyhood home. Today, Log Cabin® syrups are available in original, light, and sugar-free — all with no High Fructose Corn Syrup.

What goes better with maple syrup than pancakes? Faced with a surplus amount of flour, the Pearl Milling Company created Aunt Jemima pancake mix in 1889 — America's first ready pancake mix. Today, Aunt Jemima® frozen pancakes, waffles and French toast are made with love, not preservatives, and are a favorite for families who want to serve a warm, wholesome breakfast just like they'd make at home.

Early to mid 1900s

In 1915, Theodore J. Van de Kamp and his family opened a small Los Angeles potato-chip stand that soon expanded to a chain of restaurants featuring baked goods and their trademark batter-fried halibut. The small business soon changed its focus to producing frozen foods, specializing in the Van de Kamp's® seafood America loves today.

Across the country in a small Pennsylvania town, another family started a legendary business from potato chips. The Snyder family started cooking kettle chips in their home kitchen in Hanover, Pennsylvania in the 1920s, marking the introduction of the Snyder® of Berlin brand.

Innovator Clarence Birdseye invented the "Quick Freeze Machine" in 1926, based on the principles of flash freezing he learned while traveling through the Arctic. Originally put to use on fish, it soon revolutionized the way Americans enjoyed fresh vegetables with the introduction of the Birds Eye® frozen vegetable brand.

Breakfast foods continued to evolve as Harry Lender founded Lender's Bagels in New Haven, Connecticut in 1927. What started as a 6-person family business grew into a national success story when Lender's® introduced frozen bagels. Lender's® became the first packaged bagels sold in supermarkets, introducing the round, doughy "Jewish English Muffin" to a vast new audience.

"Mama Celeste" Lizio, an immigrant from Southern Italy, first began making pizzas in her Chicago pizzeria in the 1930s. Her pies were so popular she soon closed the restaurant to begin selling pizzas and pizza ingredients directly to pizzerias. Today, Celeste® Pizzas continue to provide pizzeria-fresh taste at an affordable price.

Joe Vlasic began production of the first glass-packed, shelf-stable pickles in 1942. Over the next 20 years, Joe and his son Bob grew Vlasic® Pickles into the number one pickle in America, a position we still hold today.

Duncan Hines, already a well-known food author and restaurant critic, put his name to a line of cake mixes and other packaged foods in 1948. Today, Duncan Hines® products are one of America's leading brands of cake mixes, ready-to-serve frostings, and other baking mixes, including the #1 selling cake mix in the country, Classic Yellow Moist Deluxe Cake Mix.

Upon his return from World War II, Phillip Sollomi opened a restaurant in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri and named it "The Wish-Bone" after his signature chicken dish. To his surprise, it was the fragrant Italian salad dressing made from his Sicilian family recipe that became famous. Now, Wish-Bone® is the number one Italian dressing nationwide.

Mid 1900s

In 1953, Open Pit® Barbecue Sauce was created in Detroit as a classic tangy BBQ sauce to liven up family meals. Over the past few decades, Open Pit® has expanded throughout the Midwest and become a family favorite for backyard BBQs.

Mrs. Butterworth's® syrup launched in 1961 to a national audience in the distinctive motherly-shaped bottle American kids have grown up with for generations. The talking Mrs. Butterworth's® bottle was named one of the most beloved American spokespeople by Forbes, and her syrup is a family favorite, known for its distinct thick, rich, buttery taste.

1970s-Present

In 1986, Tim Kennedy and his family began Tim's® Cascade Style Potato Chips in a 15,000 square foot facility in Auburn, Washington. The brand was named "the best potato chip in Seattle" two short years later.

Birds Eye® Voila!® was introduced in 1998, creating an entirely new bagged meal option in the frozen food aisle. The many varieties of meals in a bag allow consumers to serve a complete home cooked meal in minutes.

In 2006, Birds Eye® became the first brand to introduce steam-in-the bag technology with the launch of the Birds Eye® Steamfresh® brand. Steamfresh® offers convenience that is perfect for kids' cooking, with no knives or hot stoves required.

Citizenship

At Pinnacle Foods, we are committed to doing business in a way that reflects our shared values. We seek to make a
difference in the communities where we live and work, while reducing our environmental footprint. Citizenship is
important to who we are, and we continue to evolve our practices to deliver even greater value for our customers,
employees, communities, and the planet.

Community

As a company, we put down roots in the communities where we live and work. We believe in being a good neighbor
and corporate citizen, and our company has been recognized for our contributions in several communities where
our facilities are located.

We are deeply committed to one cause where we can make the greatest difference — fighting hunger in America. In 2010,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture identified more than 16 million children at risk of hunger in the U.S., affecting
the lives of 1 in every 5 children. In response, we contributed more than $3 million over the past two years to
helping connect children with the nutritious food they need to live active, healthy lives through strategic
brand partnerships, cause marketing and employee volunteerism efforts.

Here's a look at some of our recent initiatives that contributed to our $3 million donation towards helping end
childhood hunger in the United States:

Duncan Hines® & Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry

Duncan Hines® invited bakers from across the country to share their inspired creations with the
community and raise funds to fight childhood hunger with the "1 MILLION Cupcake Challenge," part of Share Our
Strength's 2011 Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry®. During each week of the Challenge, Duncan
Hines® matched the funds from the top fundraising team.

Birds Eye® & Feed Kids Better

As the country's leading brand in frozen vegetables, Pinnacle's Birds Eye® brand is committed
to its "Feed Kids Better" initiative. In 2011, The Birds Eye "My Perfect Veggie-Powered Plate" Facebook application invited
consumers to create and share their perfect meal — starting with vegetables. For every veggie-powered plate
created on Facebook, Birds Eye donated vegetables for 10 meals in addition to a donation of 1 million meals to
Share Our Strength®'s No Kid Hungry Campaign.

Employee Volunteerism

For Pinnacle Foods employees, pitching in comes naturally. In 2012, our employees volunteered more than 22,000 hours of
their time to baking, organizing and hosting bake sales and other events for the Duncan Hines Bake Sale Challenge.
Together, employees volunteered in teams in the communities where they live and work across the country, raising more
than $26,000 through 38 bake sales. All proceeds were donated to Share Our Strength® for the fight against childhood
hunger.

And when Superstorm Sandy struck the northeast in October 2012, our employees generously donated their time and resources
to help those in need. In addition to the company's donations of more than 40,000 meals to the Community Food Bank of
New Jersey in the wake of the storm, Pinnacle Foods was proud to match all employee donations to area food banks serving
those affected by Sandy, as well as extending volunteer time for employees who choose to give their own time to aid
organizations in relief and rebuilding areas affected by the storm.

Sustainability

2015 Update

At Pinnacle Foods, we have made meaningful progress toward minimizing our impact on the environment, including reducing water usage in our manufacturing operations. We measure our usage of water and energy, along with other key environmental metrics, at each of our plants. Short and long term sustainability metrics are included in the performance dashboard that we regularly review with our Board of Directors. We are preparing a 2015 update on our progress in these areas, which will be available on our website.

We are committed to doing our part to preserve the Earth's natural resources by pursuing programs to systematically reduce our use of energy and water and decrease the volume of waste generated at our manufacturing and corporate facilities, as well as in our transportation and distribution operations. Through efficiency improvements, best practices, refined processes and technological enhancements, environmental sustainability is part of Pinnacle Foods' management discipline and our lean, nimble approach to operational excellence.

By measuring our impact and setting tangible, challenging goals, we will continue on our path of continuous improvement. By 2015 we are committed to achieving meaningful improvement in the following areas:

- Reducing water usage

- Reducing post-use water disposal

- Reducing electricity usage

- Reducing natural gas usage

- Reducing solid waste disposal

Our entire organization has a role in these initiatives, and we've already made significant strides. Here's a look at some of our recent sustainability efforts and innovations:

Water

A key element of our production processes, water has many uses in our supply chain — from cleaning our vegetables & fruits, to serving as an ingredient in our pickle brines. We monitor our usage and look for opportunities to post-use water disposal through new equipment installations and initiatives to reuse water.

Re-Watering the Earth

Our Darien, Wisconsin Birds Eye® manufacturing facility installed their second water lagoon in 2011 in an effort to increase
the amount of clean water returned to the environment. The Darien facility uses water in many ways, including cleaning,
blanching and conveying our vegetables. The new lagoon allows 35 million additional gallons of post-use water each year
to be aerated and treated, removing waste and debris. After aeration in the lagoon, the water is taken back to the agricultural
fields and is reused in spray irrigation to promote the healthy growth of crops. This process is currently in place at many
of our locations and we plan to continue to build infrastructure to increase our beneficial reuse of post-use water.

35,000 More Trees

Our transportation network uses more than a million pallets each year. By using pooled CHEP pallets that are reused etwork, we increase wood recovery and recycling. All CHEP pallets are made from renewable natural d sourced 100% from sustainably managed forests. By participating in the pooled pallet program instead g plastic or whitewood pallets, we save more than 35,000 trees each year, while cutting waste in half.

Energy Efficient Lighting, Cooling and Compressed Air

By installing motion detectors in our corporate and plant facilities in order to save energy when our space is not
in use, we have reduced electricity usage. At one warehouse alone, changing to motion sensor lights generated a
total annual energy reduction of more than 600,000 kilowatt hours, an electricity reduction of 79% during the week
and 90% on weekends.

In 2012, we launched several coordinated projects to improve the efficiency of our refrigeration and compressed air
systems in our Jackson, TN and Fayetteville, AR manufacturing facilities. These projects, when complete, are expected
to save more than 5 million kilowatt hours of energy each year in those two locations alone. We plan to implement
similar energy savings projects in our other manufacturing facilities over the next several years.
